How are you approaching installing that? They dont make a specific harness for the tC yet...

No, but they do make a universal one. Which I ordered the same time as the HKS unit, but from another store. Unfortunately it won't be here until next week because no one had the universal harness in stock, so it has to be shipped from HKS, to them, and then to me. I got the HKS unit from Nopi.com (fast as hell on shipping).

I was looking over the included documentation, and it seems pretty straight forward.

2 Splice Connector(Qty 3) Red color
3 Parking Brake Wire (Qty 1) Gray color
4 RPM Signal Wire (Qty 1) Brown color

Those wires are correct but keep in mind you're missing the constant, ignition and accessory wires you need to tap into the ignition harness by your key. Those are the fun ones to figure out.

Don't know yet, still tossing around the idea in my head. Mabye I can go ahead and put it at 10psi, and just baby it until the clutch and flywheel gets installed. Remeber, I have a $300 dollar instore credit to ZPI. And that's what we are using it on.....MUUUAHAAAA!!! MUUAHAAAHAA!!!

I just hope bad luck dosen't strike us like it usually does.

Yeah, I'm sure. It won't be going in, until the Universal Harness arrives. So, guess I'll figure it out while we are still at the shop.

I read the documentation some more, and I found the part talking about the ignition. It reads as thus:

1. Key Switch Connector

Remove teh steering column cover to locate the key switch connector.
Some Vehicles may have the key switch connected directly to the main connector plug.
To ensure a proper connection, use an HKS Turbo Timer harness(call for application).
(1) Remove the cable from the negative terminal of the battery.
(2) Connect the Turbo Timer harness in between the key switch connector and the main connector plug.
Note: If no Turbo Timer harness is available, connect the following behind the main connector plug:

Red--[12] volt constant
Green--[12] volt ignition
Blue--[12] volt accessory

(3) Connect the 3Pin connector to the Turbo Timer
(4) Connect the black ground wire onto a good chassis ground. To ensure a good ground, make sure there is no paint below the mounting surface(sand if necessary)

Well, that seems to be pretty straight forward. I can't wait to get everything running to spec. Then I can have a "I'm Boosted" stamp of approaval...
